“Wonderful week with the family, just a couple of comments.”

..mattresses are not the best and more wardrobe space is needed. Other than that the house is stunning and spacious, hot tub would make it perfect! Thank you x

“Accommodation was very comfortable with all the facilities you need in a good location and we have already booked for next year, as a party of 8 adults a small wardrobe in each of the downstairs twins would have been useful.”

- Mr Gilmer, July 2019

“Good location for the rest of Cornwall.”

“As a group of six ‘over sixty’ friends we had a wonderful blustery week at ‘Seagrass’.”

I had originally booked it for a three generation family holiday but had to change our plans because of a very early new arrival. It would have worked equally well for the family, however.
As adults it was perfectly positioned for all of our plans, from St.Ives to Padstow to The Eden Project to stunning coastal walks.
The house itself is beautifully modern and the ‘upside down’ open plan nature of the layout is a real winner. Even on a stormy Saturday the lashing of rain on the floor to ceiling windows was dramatically romantic!
The kitchen was excellently equipped (although The Stove cooker was a little complicated!) and the bathrooms very modern. Linens were excellent and the house cosy and well insulated.
An enclosed garden remained unused by us but would be great for children. We were too busy to take advantage of it and the weather wasn’t quite conducive to barbecueing.
Crantock is a lovely unspoilt village with a great village shop and local pub. The beach is stunningly beautiful although I would say that it isn’t an ideal beach for young children because of the tidal estuary. They would, though, have fun on the sand and in the sand dunes.
I would highly recommend ‘Seagrass’ for any time of year if you are a lover, as we are, of Cornwall.

- Mrs Roberts, September 2018

“We had the most wonderful stay at Seagrass - there were 4 adults and 5 children in our party and there was room for all of us to do our own thing.”

Our ages ranged from 4 to 70 and not one grumpy moment from anyone because of the amount of space in the house and garden.

- Mrs Harding, July 2018

“Really well equipped house.”

Spacious enough for a large family (although flooring type upstairs means that it is quite noisy downstairs).
Garden is well kept and very large. Parking area ideal and room enough for 4 cars.

- Miss Dunn, July 2018

“One of the best laid out and equipped holiday lets I have used, would highly recommend to anyone.”

- Mr Turley, July 2018

“I just wish this was my home, convenient for access to anywhere in Cornwall.”

Beautifully presented with everything you need for a short break or a long holiday.
Outstanding!

- Mr Langton, July 2018

“Seven adults, one child, one baby and a dog stayed at Seagrass, it’s a beautiful house and there was plenty of room for all of us.”

The view from the lounge area is amazing. It’s ideally situated to explore Cornwall, and two pubs and little shop just down the road. A little further up the road the other way is The Bowgie Inn, where you can sit and admire the view in the evening. The beach is a good walk down hill, probably best to drive down especially if you’ve got lots of stuff to carry. Would definitely stay again.

“Had brilliant time at sea grass .”

Owners though of every thing clean well looked could not fault this property.

“Lovely house in very pleasant location”

We stayed here in April school holidays as a family of 5 - 2 kids (13 & 15), parents and Grandmother.
The location of Crantock is excellent for exploring Cornwall as most areas are within a one hour drive. The house is in a central location yet very peaceful with lovely open views to the rear and a glimpse of sea from the upstairs lounge. Ample parking although be cautious if reversing out of the drive. Plenty of bedrooms and in fact we didn't use one of them. There is a very small local shop (Londis) which sells most items you would need and there are two pubs. We took a walk to the beach which wasn't too far. The beach is lovely with some massive dunes which my son loved climbing.
The cottage itself was immaculate in cleanliness with good quilts and pillows. The mattresses unfortunately in our opinion were far too soft and gave us back ache. All bedrooms of a good size and each has its own electric heater. The bathrooms were good with fantastic showers, There is a big fridge freezer in the utility room on the ground floor (useful as only a small one upstairs in the kitchen) and a good quality washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs is a lovely sized kitchen/diner and lounge with log burner which we didn't need to use as it was nice and warm without it. Ample kitchen accessories and generally very well equipped. Perhaps a re-organisation needed in order to make more cupboard space for shopping. Nice TV and DVD player in the lounge and a couple of large bean bags which the kids liked.
In summer the garden would be a nice size for younger kids to enjoy. The garden has a decked area with outdoor dining furniture which looked nice but we didn't use due to it still being a little on the colder side in April. Off the decked area is a sliding door giving access to the "games room". This room is carpeted and contains the cushions for the garden furniture, a nice TV on the wall and a football table. First of all I would say that the TV and football table make it a great area to hang out. However, the football table has suffered a lot of wear and tear and whilst playing some of the bolts weakened so we had to continually tighten them (we have a modern outdoor football table at home so knew how to do this, but not difficult). Secondly the room absolutely stank of wet dog (we also have a dog so know the smell!). To be honest it was really unpleasant. It is a great little area but in my opinion I would re-carpet and re-paint to get rid of the smell. Outside there is also a shower for washing off wet suits etc.
Over the years we have stayed in many cottages across the UK and despite a couple of minor issues such as the mattresses and the smell of the games room, it really was lovely and you wont be disappointed if you stay here - in fact, probably one of the better cottages we have stayed in.

“We all had a brilliant time.”

The property

Amble back from the surfy beach at Crantock over grass sand dunes to this beautiful coastal home.

Smartly refurbished from top to toe and redesigned in reverse level to maximise distant sea views, Seagrass is a refreshing representation of modern coastal living.

Separated from the lively resort of Newquay by the Gannel River, the traditional seaside village of Crantock is a more low-key but no less desirable holiday destination.

Seagrass is located at its centre, within a stroll from the restaurants, pubs and a convenience store.
Accentuating the coastal feel, large picture windows bathe generous rooms with light and doors to a Juliet balcony in the open-plan living room invites fresh air in off the Atlantic coast.

During the cooler months, snuggle up on deep sofas and armchairs upholstered in rich colours and adorned with cushions in geometric patterns beside the warming wood burner.

The kitchen is laden with good quality appliances including a coffee maker and there is a huge dining table to seat ten guests.

Designed to promote a restful sleep, the four bedrooms on the ground floor feature a soothing neutral palette, white cotton linens and furniture crafted in natural wicker and wood.

There is a small fifth bedroom/snug, set into the eaves on the first floor which is perfect for children, complete with cute beds on low bases.

Practical for families, there are two bathrooms and a games room with table football.

Space is generous through and through.

The large, enclosed garden is safe for children and pets and the raised deck and rattan furniture sets the scene for barbecues and outdoor living.
You are surrounded by stunning coastal scenery which can be better appreciated from the nearby coast path.

The beach is lifeguard patrolled during the main season and open to dogs year round.

Take the dog for a paddle in the sea, stopping en-route at the Fern Pit Café to admire the view and sample their legendary lobster or crab sandwich.

Bring surfboards or hire surf equipment straight from the beach.

Seagrass is also a perfect launch pad for exploring Cornwall's north coast with the visitor hotspots at Watergate Bay, Padstow, St Ives, Port Isaac and Newquay within an easy drive.

About the location

NEWQUAY

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within 30 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is under an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.

NOTE: property sleeps up to 8 adults and 2 children. Property does not have a cot.
